Shiquan River - Brief Introduction
The Shiquan River originates from north side of holy Mt. Kailash. The source of Shiquan River is from a mountain cliff in the shape of opening mouth of lion, hence the name "Senge Zangpo" in Tibetan Language. The upper stream of Shiquan River flows by Bangba Sendui, Senmai, Napu in Geji County and Jiamu, Tashigang and Qujiao in Gar County. On both banks of Shiquan River, there are vast grassland, grand snow mountain, picturesque hills and magical natural landscapes. That's the paradise of wild animals. Furthermore, there are rich mineral resources, geothermal resources and solar energy resources. Along the Shiquan River, there are Rila Kama, relics of pottery, Tashigang Monastery and other historical relics.
